Luo Xuan betrays without burden, though entering the Nether Mansion’s Netherworld Soil, he encounters the truly invincible lord of the Heavenly Court, yet these Nether Mansion people have never figured out the source, utterly incompetent.

"Nether Mansion remnants? Just perfect, let’s go and assist that one."

"Dare I ask who ’that one’ is?" Luo Xuan inquired.

"That one is named ’Ksitigarbha’; you might not know him, but you should recognize his main deity." Dou Mu casually remarked, "It’s that World Venerable; you should be aware of him."

Luo Xuan’s smile stiffened on his face.

Assist the World Venerable in Path Protecting?

No, it’s for the World Venerable’s... subordinate?

To say Path Protecting, it’s probably no different from being an assistant!

The Heart Venerable and others behind him were also frozen in place.

Ksitigarbha... the Buddha who joined forces with the Netherworld Lord?

Moments later, Luo Xuan’s expression returned to normal, he asked, "Has that World Venerable also succumbed to your Forbidden Technique? Joined under the Heavenly Court’s banner?"

Two century-old monsters, did this one ultimately prevail?

"He joined the Heavenly Court, but did not receive the Seal." Dou Mu replied calmly, causing Luo Xuan’s expression to stiffen again.

He quickly reacted, "The World Venerable and you were originally comrades?!"

Dou Mu said indifferently, "Do not inquire about what is not your concern; fulfill your duties in the future."

Luo Xuan took a deep breath, experiencing for the first time the feeling of depending on others.

"You may study the limitations of that Seal when you have the opportunity." Dou Mu could see at a glance that Luo Xuan was not the type to easily submit, thus his tone carried a slight mockery, seeming both a reminder and a warning.

Luo Xuan remained silent, he took a deep breath and asked, "Where is the promised Daoist trajectory as mentioned earlier?"

"From now on, you should address me as Your Majesty."

Dou Mu turned and walked away, leaving only one sentence behind,

"When the Heavenly Court is reestablished and restored to its peak, there will be a reshaping of the Five Emperors’ Fruit Position, at that time three Emperor positions will be vacant, whether you can occupy one will depend on yourself."

"Five Emperors’ Fruit Position..." Luo Xuan murmured, this Fruit Position, is it the Great Dao Ancestor Fruit Position he imagined?

A Heavenly Court governing the Vast Boundary Sea can support five Fruit Positions?

Besides the Heavenly Emperor, shouldn’t there be four vacancies?

Luo Xuan’s gaze grew profound, which side does this World Venerable ultimately belong to?

...

...

Boom——

Thunder arises in the void, some True Saints have already sensed the abnormality, looking up at the doomsday-like Heaven and Earth.

Underneath their feet, the so-called Summer Palace, in truth, is no different from a small world, now this small world is sealed by the Heavenly Emperor, it’s difficult to escape without action.

At this moment, some True Saints began to sense the abnormality, the sense of crisis emerged gradually.

Amidst the creaking sounds, as if the Heaven and Earth were overburdened sighs, cracks spread like spider webs throughout the void, each fissure slowly opening up, transforming into countless slender deep "eyes," with seemingly dreadful things slowly peeking out, bringing an overwhelming despair to All Saints.

No one knew what this signified, yet no one was willing to stay further.

Someone abruptly stood, angrily berating the distant Divine General, "Open the portal quickly, let us out!"

Only then did All Saints realize that those Divine Generals and Star Monarchs also showed expressions of fear.

Mieyu’s heart sank, he swiftly grabbed the nearest Star Monarch, coldly saying, "Is the Heavenly Court planning to trap and slaughter us here?"

That Star Monarch showed no resistance, expressing despair, "This is... the Silent Extinction Tide! The catastrophe that the Heavenly Court has been suppressing is now revolting!"

"What is the Silent Extinction Tide?! Explain clearly!" Mieyu roared.

Feng Ming and others began to gather around Ji Jingqiu, their expressions serious; even they felt a deadly threat from the void.

"Do not panic."

Ji Jingqiu’s words entered their spirits, allowing a few of them to calm down.

"It’s just some... unanticipated complications."

Ji Jingqiu could not elaborate too much to Feng Ming and the others, he could only remind them not to stray too far nor too close to him.

As the "eyes" in the void multiplied, everything in this Heaven and Earth became utterly chaotic, All Saints could no longer wield the power of the Outer Heaven and Earth, they could only guard their own Inner Heaven and Earth closely.

However, soon, a True Saint discovered that his Inner Heaven and Earth seemed to be experiencing some form of invisible erosion.

Clearly there was no apparent danger, yet his entire body was trembling, as if he had seen his own future.

He surged forth in fury, attempting to forcibly penetrate the Heaven and Earth to escape, but discovered, this land was already in a state where time and space did not exist, karma vanished, at the brink of returning to Primordial Limitless!

If to describe, this should have been a realm’s apocalypse at its end, without sky-crashing calamity or terrifying destruction, only the most perfect emptiness, void, finally returning to silent annihilation.

Tuo Hai looked at the emotionless Divine General beside him, finding this was one of the few Heavenly Court figures who did not show fear, feeling delighted, courteously saying:

"Taoist Friend, dare ask how to evade this calamity."

This Divine General, with no expression, looked at him, his gaze gradually turning peculiar, making Tuo Hai inexplicably feel eerie.

Rumble!

The Divine General suddenly exploded, the collapse of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water within triggering chaotic annihilating thunder, catching Tuo Hai unprepared, enveloping him!

Lightning and fire consuming him, a pain he hadn’t felt for countless years swept through every nerve, but more terrifying was an invisible force within the lightning and fire, attacking the existence concept of his Inner Universe!

"Retreat! This thing can erase the essence of Inner Universe existence, causing Inner Universe collapse!"

Mieyu’s distant voice echoed sternly.

He had just witnessed a True Saint from the [Heavenly Prison Palace] faction suddenly show terror, his Inner Universe collapsing, the core of existence crumbling, True Saint’s Daoist career extinguished, resulting in death!
